How many of us grew up hearing the expression, “Don’t cry over spilled milk?” What if we told you it dated back 200 years ago to a disaster in a tiny Swiss town where a dairy cart tipped over, drowning four residents in a giant milky wave?
That sounds right, doesn’t it?
Or does it come from old English lore – from a time when people still strongly believed in fairies and it was common practice to lay out food and drink offerings, including milk? Whenever the milk was spilled, it was shrugged off as just a little extra offering for their fairy friends.
Can you guess which one is true?
Join your host Andrew Keenan-Bolger, actor, director, author & filmmaker, for That Sounds Right, a gameshow podcast where each week, he’ll be joined by a professional storyteller — be it an actor, writer, comedian, or social media star. They’ll take turns trying to convince each other – and you at home – that their version of the story is the real one.
And sometimes, fact really is stranger than fiction…but sometimes, a tall tale is just far more delicious.

Meet your host, Andrew Keenan-Bolger, an actor, director, author, filmmaker, multi-hyphenate talent who has always had an amusing relationship with the truth.
Lucky for us, there are so many weird facts and stories out there, with strange origins and explanations just ripe for storytelling. But sometimes, a made-up version is far more entertaining. As Mark Twain once said, “never let the truth get in the way of a good story.” Or was it Maya Angelou?
Each week, we’ll be putting these stories to the test. Andrew will be joined by a professional storyteller — be it an actor, writer, comedian, or social media star. They’ll take turns trying to convince each other – and you at home – that their version of the story is the real one.
And sometimes, fact really is stranger than fiction…but sometimes, a tall tale is just far more delicious.
